Steve Shields Camp Off to a Strong Start

LITTLE ROCK, AR – The 2013 Steve Shields Basketball Camps wrapped up a successful first session on Thursday at the Jack Stephens Center. In all, a combined 127 campers attended the morning mini-camp and the regular afternoon camp.

Two sessions remain for Shields’ summer camps, with the second session taking place June 17-20 and the third and final session being held July 8-11, both at the Jack Stephens Center.

Each session will feature a mini-camp for kids entering grades K-3 from 9 a.m.-11:30 a.m., followed by a regular camp session for children entering grades 4-12 from 12 p.m.-5 p.m. Due to an NCAA-mandated dead period, children who are considered prospective student-athletes may not attend the final session, limiting participation in the regular camp to kids entering grades 4-6.

The cost of each session is $95 per child for the mini-camp and $195 per camper for the regular camp. Each session will be held at the Jack Stephens Center, which is located on the UALR campus at the corner of University Avenue and 28th Street.

Parents can register their children by picking up a camp brochure at the Jack Stephens Center, or by downloading the attached document and mailing it back to the men's basketball office. Parents can also register their children on the first day of each camp session, with mini-camp registration taking place from 8:30 a.m.-9 a.m., and registration for the regular camp running from 11:30 a.m.-12 p.m.
